I agree he was awful against Huddersfield but it was one game. He may well have suffered with nerves, particularly after his early mistake presenting a chance to Ince but we can't write him off on the basis of one match. He clearly can pass the ball out from the back (something FDB wants). He does need to improve defensively from his debut, and fairly quickly too, but let's give him more than one game before making a final judgement.

Also, it wasn't our entire transfer budget. We had enough to make two promising looking season long loans and we are clearly still trying to spend more.

For what it's worth, on the basis of his debut I have some concerns about the signing but to write him off completely at the moment is a bit daft.

Anyway, I believe he is starting today. I am away and won't be able to stream so I will be interested in people's opinions on this thread after today's game. Let's hope he has a better game!

When you post as definitively as this, it only leads to one possible conclusion; you either know more about football than FdB, or your post is a rubbish.

If you can see another likely conclusion let us know.

Jairo Riedewald discussion
 

Sometimes this is the only sane retort.

This is one of those times.

I did start to put together a post but just deleted it because this has to be a troll post - whether the user is a troll or not. No one can be that ........

does anyone remember how crap Jedinak was for the first three months?

Give him more than 1 game? Are you mad. You've got to be brilliant from get go or you aren't good enough evenue for a pub team!!! What is wrong with you. Don't you understand football? You are only as good as your first error.

This thread is embarrassing. Some utter ****s on this board

Not involved today either. I was wrong. Wonder if he failed a late fitness test?

Has Riedewald bottled it after his horror story against Huddersfield.

Still personally want to see Jairo in a midfield 3 with Luka and Cabaye, punch being dropped.

I said it at the time and I hope I'm proved wrong but was a completely pointless singing

:hi:

Dick.

He does not have to be a connoisseur of football to realise the rubbish that is being served up currently. Maybe it's you that needs to take your Red White and Blue specs off.

The other massive worry is that the 3 at the back doesn't seem to be working for us and if we go to a back 4 then that probably means our only permanent signing, who cost a big whack of our tight budget, won't even play anymore. Surely he was signed specifically to play left side of a back 3?

Alternatively, if he became our first choice left back that would mean we have £25m worth of left backs signed 7 months ago out of the side.

Or our first choice defensive midfield, which would mean a player we spent about £12m on 7 months ago is out of the side.

There is one obvious one and that is without the signings we need we are going down.

We have to go 4 at the back and if fit that is

Souare

But bearing in mind one is never fit 3 games in a row and one might never be again

Either way looks better than 3 at the back and no Jairo

He is the repeat of Jose Campaña: lot of hype but will not deliver. Will play two or three more times and will be sold shortly after FdB is sacked

:wallbash:

Not sure that anything he said is particularly
deniable. What in particular do you take issue with?

Usually everything.
